COLUMBIA. S. C. Friday Morning. July 26, 1812. For President of the United States. HORACE GREELEY, of Ntw fork. For Vice-President B. GRATZ naOWS, Of Hliioarl. Carl Schurs'a Speech. We publish elsewhere an abstract of the speeoh delivered by the great founder of the Liberal movement and the great? est statesman now in public life, Senator Schurz, of Missouri, delivered at St. Louis, on the 22d instant. It is an elaborate campaign address, evidently prepared with much care and stady. It will, we pres?me, be printed in pamphlet form, for distribution, for * its length prevents its being given in fall by the newspapers, except by a few of the largest of them. This is the first speech Scharz has made on the cam? paign, and the Qrantites who have been laying much stress upon his silence, in? ferring thereby that he could not sup? port Greeley, will find bat cold comfort in his earnest advocacy of Greeley and Blown, and his able and scathing review of Grant and his administration. In his arraignment of Grant and the regular Bepnblioan party, Scharz takes up first, as of ohief importance and the leading issae in the campaign, the recon? ciliation of the Sooth. To renationalize the South and bring har people not only in actual bat also in willing and affectionate submission to the power of the General Government, Senator Sohurz holds to have been the great and patriotic mission of the party in power at the dose of the war-and what the masses of the Northern people expected. But instead of endeavoring to win back the confidence and regard of the orashed South by acts of kindness and consideration, the great German orator goes on to show how, by proscrip? tive oaths, political disabilities, unconsti? tutional and wicked interference with the saored rights of local self-government, &c, the United States Government had been steadily punning a oourse whioh cannot but perpetaate the estrangement and bitter feelings of the war. It is this portion of Mr. Sohorz's speeoh, so re? plete, as is all of it, with noble and pa? triotic sentiments, whioh chiefly attracts our attention and challenges our highest admiration. We cannot but reflect what a differ? ence there would be to-day in South Carolina, for instance, had a man enter? taining the pure sentiments of Schurz been President for the last three year?, instead of Grant; and had the policy which he advocates prevailed, instead ol the narrow, sectional and partisan views of Morton, Gonkling, Ben. Butler, Nye and the other bad men who have shaped the counsels of the Government. While we now grow despondent ovar the non. tinuanoe of carpet-bag mis-rule, oppres? sion, the prevalence of orime, the enor? mous inorease of the public debt, intole? rable taxation, and the rapid deprecia? tion of all our property, if we had had a wise and a non-partisan admi? nistration at Washington, we would to-day be enjoying the blessings of good, honest government, and making rapid strides in the march of industrial pro? gress and in the restoration of lost for' tones. The Republican party, under Grunt, did not aim at the prosperity of th? Sooth and a genuine re-union of th? States. The chief, and we may troth folly say the sole, aim of their legisle tion in reconstructing the South, hat been to strengthen and perpetuate tbt power of their party. They have beei bold and bare-faced partisans, putting their selfish individual and party end before any consid?rations of the publi good and the prosperity of the people They have, in fact, killingly and witl their eyes wide open, sacrificed ever; good whioh governments ordinarily eu deavor to promote, for the single pur pose of the building up a Bepublioai party, so-called. Will any man in bi senses say that when the Radical Ooo gross enfranchised the negroes of tbi State, who were utterly ignorant of Go vernment affairs and in a majority c 30,000, and when, at the same time they disfranchised the most intelligec and influential class of men in the Stat? that they did not know that the presen rotten oonoern of a government, wit Scott at its head, wonld be the ineritabl result? Sensible people here knew, it, an to argue that the Radical leaders wet utterly unsuspecting of this woef ol effet of their partisan aots, is to argoe thei even greater fools than their won enemies now accredit them with beim Their motto was "perpetuate o.ur ow power, ahd let the Sooth go to tbo devi if need be." Well, they have ove: reaohed themselves, as bad men general! do. They have lost nearly every Soutl ern State, and what negro vote they ha-* ls more than counterbalanced by U diso flection of each good and pure mon as Greeley, Soburz, Brown, Trumbull, Sumner, Palmer, Koorner, Tipton, and their hosts ot Republican followers, Tlie Campaign ot 187*. Slr. Greeley's situation is something like that of Napoleon upon hie return to France after his exile to Elbe. It differs, however, in the essential particu? lar that Napoleon had no strength at the beginning of bin campaign to count on with certainty, while Mr. Greeley has innumerable hosts of knights ready to conch a lanco in his service. Napoleon relied on the aid of the men who bad so often marched with him to victory, and the event proved his calculations oorreot. When the test came the soldiers of France could no more stand to be ar? rayed against the white cockade of Na? poleon than the rank and file of the people can stand to soe themselves op? posed to the old white hat of Horace Greeley. That be is the trusted leader of the masses of the people, no one who has traveled through the different States, and mixed with the people, oan doubt. For many years past the Weekly Tribune hus been circulated in the rural districts of the North and Weat, as no other newspaper has been. The faith of the yeomanry in Horneo Greeley is the growth of a quarter of a century. He has been the teacher of the political school in which they were educated, and the Weekly Ti'ibune has been their horn? book. "What I Know About Farming" and other agricultural works have been criticised. They at least show that their author always had at heart the material prosperity of the people and of the country; that he worked for the people's good; and the people believe that he will love his country and labor for its prosperity none the less when he be? comes President. But, as much sport os has been made ont of "What I Know About Farming," there is a great deal of practical asase in the book, and it is valued by the farmers of the great North? west accordingly. Many of the candi? dates for the Presidency in the past were comparatively nnknown to the people prior to their nomination, but the name of Horace Greeley is a household word from Maine to Arizona. The very anecdotes about him which Mark Twain, in his "Roughing It," complains of as being such a bore from their frequent repetition, go to show that Horace Gree? ley, with his old white hat, is the favorite of the people. Andrew Johnson is right when he ?aya this is a campaign of the people. It is no conflict between regularly organized political parties, who have tried their strength in former encounters. Tho peo? ple are making thia movement, and they have their chosen leader, and have raised the white hat of the farmer of Obappa qua for their banner. It will be seen whoa the November elections come that Grant, with his offloe-holding party, will make little better figure than did LOU?B XVIII, when the people felt that they had the opportunity to throw him over? board and elevate their own chosen ohief. It is true the power of discipline is great, and Grant has 60,000 men well organized to carry out the details of his plans for the campuign. But Louis XVIII, too, had his campaign all arranged under his lieutenants. Marshal Ney was the first who turned tho strength of his command in favor of Napoleon, and the gallant and gifted Schurz may bo called the Marshal Ney of tho present campaign. WHAT TUE PEOPLE Do.-Tho Census Bureau is now issuing some footings up of the most interesting data from tho canvass of 1870. One result is that show? ing the increase of female workers from I860 to 1870, and the withdrawal of wo? men from work as age grows nponthem. In the sexes, the working classes are only two-thirds more of males than females in early life, and only about one-third of both sexes are engaged in gainful labor, or say 12,500,000 of the 36,600,000 of people. In the first period, of ten to fifteen years old, the number of female workers is about one-third the male; in the second period, from sixteen to fifty-nine, it is about one-sixth; and in the last period, sixty and upward, it is only one-twelfth. Of the whole people, only 1,100,000 are returned as engaged in trade and transportation, and this is 500,000 more than in 1860, or an in? crease of 55 per oent. The sum of Dr. Livingstone's evils will never be folly arrived at. Not among the least is having inoculated the New York Herald with a geographical fever, the symptoms of whioh appear in a restless desire to hunt up the sonroes of rivers. It has how taken the Dolly Varden armoo ander guardianship, and triumphantly publishes a letter from the skipper of the craft, totally upsetting all previous theories oonoorning the source of the Mississippi. Lake Itasca is robbed of the honor, whioh is transferred to a dook pond in Gass County. Minne? sota, now christened-horror of horrors -"Dolly Varden," etc. The contractors who have undertaken the work of building the National Rail? way from Philadelphia to New York, have commenced work, and are adver? tising for 1,000 hands. POIITTIOATJ D?TTINGS.-The North Ca? rolina Radicals are circulating a story that a Grant negro has had his throat ont at Halifax, by a white man named Barnes. They have issued a proclama? tion reciting tbe story to fire the African heart. Tho Raleigh Neus says that Barnes was beastly drank, the negro waa for Greeley, and was only slightly in? jured. It was nobody but Hoary Wilson, Ra? dical candidate for tho Vice-Presidency, who, some y curs ago, declared tbat "the time bas come wbon the uniform of the State militia should no longer be dis? graced by being seen ou the back of a Catholic Irishman or an infidel Dutch? man." This sentiment, pasted iu the hat of "a Catholic Irishman" or "an infidel Dutchman," with the autograph of Honry Wilson attached, would bo quite an ornament. Secretary Boutwell's lecture to the people of North Carolina does not ap? pear to be very palatable to the people for whom it was intended. It was uu fortauate for tho Secretary to assert in Greensboro lhut the Government hud lost only SG0.000 by internal reveuuo collectors, when it wa9 notorious that one collector iu that very place was a default? er for ?167,000. The Alexandria (Va.) Sentinel thus speaks of those who talk of "selling out" because Southern Democrats Bup port the Liberal movement: -There is no inference that Greeley is a rebel or a Democrat from the fact that he i? sup? ported by tbem. Neither do they, in supporting him, falsify their opinions or stultify themselves. We had rather support a man who was a bold aud opec and zealous foe while wo fought, and a kind friend in word aud deed after we were overcome, than to tie to one who talks peace and acts Ku Klux." A Radical paper tells ns that "Judge Mackey, who presides over ona of the worst Ku Klux Cirouita of South Caro? lina, (Chester, Union, Fairfield and Lancaster Counties,) says that, during! the last three years, 408 whites and 56 I negroes have been murdered therein solely on account of their Republican affiliations." This declaration of tho miserable eoalawag is, of course, what a Massachusetts Christian addicted to the disreputable habit of profane swearing would call a "gaul darned lie." With those who say there is no enthu? siasm for Horace Greeley among the people, the wish is father to the thought. The evidence of such enthusiasm are cropping out all around them, but they either wilfully misrepresent, or they are BO blunted by party and prejudice that th<>y cannot see thom. Tho farmer of Ohappnqua and his old white bat are destined to cut aa important a figure in the oampaign of 1672 as did the hero of Tippecanoe and bis bard cider and log cabins a good many years ago. Those who do not want to be crushed under the feet of the people, bad better get out of the way. . -? ? ? MB. EDITOR: It appeals by tho pub? lished proceedings of the City Council, in your very valuable paper of to-day, tbat they have, at their meeting held on the evening of the 23d July, postponed indefinitely (a la motion of Mr. Wilder) tho building of a house for tho protec? tion of the new truck soon to arrive for the Pheonix Hook and Ladder Company -by such action exposing to the wea? ther property purchased through the generosity of our citizens, at a cost of nearly $1,500. It appears to be a rather singular course of action, and ono that would tend to cast a damper on the ardor of the noble fellows who, Pheonix like, arose from the ashes, and reorga? nized one of the most useful branches of oar fire department. I would ask, Mr. Editor, if the funds of the oity are at such a low ebb, and its guardians are not desirous of making a farther drain upon them, and still de? sirous of assisting the fire department, why not dispose of the nuisance on As? sembly street created by the falling of the new market, whioh will not alone sell for a sufficient amount to build a shelter for the truck, bnt ever rid that street of an objectionable obstruction? I think it meet that the City Council should show some magnanimity toward those who voluntarily risk their lives in battling the fiery elements, withont fee, favor or reward. A FIREMAN. DEATH OF AN AOBD LADY.-Mrs. Mary Anderson, aged near eighty years, died at the residence of her son-in-law, Wm. L. Hopkins, Esq., in the upper edge of Laurens County, near the Greenville line, on Tuesday, the 16th inst., and was buried ut Fork Shoal Church, in this County. She was a member of the Me? thodist Church, whioh she had been con? nected with for many years, and a good and pious woman.-Greenville Enterprise, CONTRADICTS IT.-Messrs. W. H. Wat? son, of Greenville, J. C. C. Featherston, of Anderson, and J. B.

An unmarried female, at Spring Brook, Pa., recently gave birth to one boy and three girls at one time) SOUTH CAROLINA PKIBONEKS IN ALBANY. G. E. C., the correspondent of the Charleston Courier, writing from Albany, gives tbe following concerning oar pri? c Boners: Ia tbe afternoon, remembering the fact that there wera oonQned within the gloomy walls of the State prison here a '? Large number of his fellow-citizens, ( many of whom aro suffering uujust e nnishment for crimes never committed, determined, if possible, to visit them and learn what their true condition is. * Calling at the duor of the keeper's resi- i dence, I was very cordially received by y tho gentleman in charge-Captain Pills bury, a Durne not very agreeable in Charleston. I found him a perfect gen- * tleman, ready and willing to give all in? formation upon the subject. He kindly ] permitted me to have interviews with ( several of the prisoners, and if time had permitted, I would have tulked with ( ouch oue of thom. From old Squite < Brown, of Yorkville, I loamed thut the i health of ult the South Carolina prison? ers wus excellent, exoeptiug one, who ( was iu the hospital with puoumonia. Thoy ure provided with every comfort ' which the rules of the prison will per- j mit, and ure ull treated with kindness by , those who have the charge of them. Their food is ample und of a good quali? ty; their cells ure comfortable, aud their J work, which id the mauufucturiog of shoes, is eusy aud pleasant. Captain , Pillsbury niuo spoke to mu in the highu.it terms of ull thu prisoners, and says ho hut) never had a more quiet, orderly set ' of men in the institution, and that from ] the first day of their entruuoe to the pre- ( seut time, not oue of them has been re? primanded, punishment being nu t bought of iu their caaes. They ure ull strongly ' in hopes of rooeiviug pardons after thu < Presidential election, aa they think, if < the present Administration continues, ? they otin then alford to release them, as they will have fully accomplished the work for which the Euforcomeut Act wus < passed-i. e., tho re-eleotiou of Grant- j and if Greeley is elected, he will seo that , iunoceut men shall no longer bo iucarce- , rated iu prisons for crimes which they huve never committed. Io any event, 1 therefore, they look to bu homo nguiu < after the 4th of next March. May their , hopes be fully realized. . Mn. BO?TWELL AND THE TKUTH. Whether a Secretary of the Treasury '. ought or ought not to leave his depart? ment for a stumping tour in behalf of . his "boss," aud incidentally of himself, 1 it is clear that he ought, if he speaks at all, to keep truth on his Bide. Mr. Bout- l well defies this axiom, in order to mis? represent the Tribune. He asserts that this journal "advised him to sell all the gold in the Treasury, upply the proceeds to the payment of i the public debt, then resume specie pay- , ment." This is not BO, and Mr. Bout- ( well should know it is not. The Iribune has indeed steadfastly naintaioed that the Government, with one hundred mil? lions of gold in its Treasury, and an in? come exceeding its necessary outlays by a still larger amount per annum, might have resumed specie payment, if it had chosen to do so; that it failed to do this through lack of power, not of will. Does 1 any one doubt this? Would the banks, 1 when suspended, ever have doubted ( their ability to resume under like condi? tions? You know they would not. We have thus far failed to resume, not be- 1 cause we did not choose to do so. Yet < this journal never dreamed cf pajiug , out all our specie and then resuming. , But 'lince we were plainly not intent on resuming-would not resume-then tho Tribune says that the one hundred 1 millions lying idle in the Treasury for ( the greater part of tho last three years ought long since to have been devoted to tbe payment of the public debt. Wu ' might thus have saved macy millions which we havo since paid away in inte- I rest, and kept the money in use which j has hun for years dead in the Treasury. The Treasury might at first have bought for coin our unmatured bonds ten to 1 fifteen por cent, below the prices we ? huve since paid for them, und thus saved , in principal and interest uot less than $25,000,000. Such has been the Tri bune's view of this financial question, by 1 misrepresenting which Mr. Uoutwell i seeks to alarm timid capitalists and drive them into voting for Graut. He caunot do it by caudidly settiug forth the truth. \New York Tribune. 1 THE ROBESON OUTLAWS.-There is a prospect of a lively time in Robeson County. The campaign against the out? laws hus opened in earnest, at last, and there are hopes that the County will be rid of the desperadoes at an early day. The outlaws are also on the war-path, and will no doubt make every effort to revenge the death of Tom Lowrey. The great fear is that they may wreak their vengeanoo on defenceless persons. As for the young men who have entered the field (or swamps) against them, they are probably abundantly able to take oare of themselves. The party now number six gallant youths, who are determined to make a clean sweep of the outlaws. It is reported that a bead was drawn on Steve Lowrey, yesterday, but fear of endangering the lives of other persons in the vicinity had the effect to prolong his life until "a more convenient season." We look for more startling news from that quarter soon.- Wilmington Star. An altercation ensued in Charleston, ou Wednesday, between Trial Justice J. G. Maokey and Mr. Seabrook, in front of the City Hall. The "lie" passed, when Mr. Seabrook slapped Mr. Maokey iu tbe face. The latter then struck at tbe former with his walking stick, and hit him on the arm, slightly braising it. The timely presence of Lieut. Heidt quieted matters.)

THE THERMOMETER.-All the curses of all time are not too many to be heaped opon the head of the wretch who invent? ed the thermometer. Half of the year we worry because the thermometer is too low, the other half because it ia too high, the rest of the year because one Lever can tell whether it's going to be ono way or the other. The bother of it all is that the man in? vented such a long thermometer. If he had mode it only from forty to seventy degrees, we Bbonld never have been troubled by its being below zero or above blood heat. For now that the thing in invented there is no nae in ontting it shorter; other people will persist in keeping whole ones and telling you that it's ninety-four in the shade. And it makes one's blood boil! It would be a great blessing if Mr. Bergh would organize a society for the prevention of thermometers to animals. Or, perhaps bis present organization wouldn't objeot to adding this specialty to its brief name. But if wo had no thermometers, we should have no ice water, beoause ice doesn't freeze-no, water doesn't freeze -except the thermometer is below freezing point, and how oonld it go be? low zero if there wasn't any? Like all things in life, there are two sides-or two ends-to the thermometer. Unfortunately, we are at the wrong ?nd just now; but "keep soo)," and by and-by it will be winter.
